"Ethologists are bad pet owners."
This is an invalid inference because it makes an unsupported, sweeping generalization about ethologists' abilities or behavior as pet owners. The other choices can reasonably be drawn from typical excerpts about ethology and Jane Goodall (ethologists avoiding subjective suggestions/anthropomorphism; Goodall feeling naïve/uneducated at the start; Goodall treating animals as individuals).
